Class Public methods
[](arg)

Locate a specific time zone object. If the argument is a string, it is interpreted to mean the name of the timezone to locate. If it is a numeric value it is either the hour offset, or the second offset, of the timezone to find. (The first one with that offset will be returned.) Returns nil if no such time zone is known to the system.

# File activesupport/lib/active_support/values/time_zone.rb, line 351
def [](arg)
  case arg
    when String
    begin
      lazy_zones_map[arg] ||= lookup(arg).tap { |tz| tz.utc_offset }
    rescue TZInfo::InvalidTimezoneIdentifier
      nil
    end
    when Numeric, ActiveSupport::Duration
      arg *= 3600 if arg.abs <= 13
      all.find { |z| z.utc_offset == arg.to_i }
    else
      raise ArgumentError, "invalid argument to TimeZone[]: #{arg.inspect}"
  end
end
all()

Return an array of all TimeZone objects. There are multiple TimeZone objects per time zone, in many cases, to make it easier for users to find their own time zone.

# File activesupport/lib/active_support/values/time_zone.rb, line 333
def all
  @zones ||= zones_map.values.sort
end
create(name, utc_offset = nil, tzinfo = nil)
find_tzinfo(name)
# File activesupport/lib/active_support/values/time_zone.rb, line 316
def self.find_tzinfo(name)
  TZInfo::TimezoneProxy.new(MAPPING[name] || name)
end
new(name)

Return a TimeZone instance with the given name, or nil if no such TimeZone instance exists. (This exists to support the use of this class with the composed_of macro.)

# File activesupport/lib/active_support/values/time_zone.rb, line 326
def new(name)
  self[name]
end
new(name, utc_offset = nil, tzinfo = nil)

Create a new TimeZone object with the given name and offset. The offset is the number of seconds that this time zone is offset from UTC (GMT). Seconds were chosen as the offset unit because that is the unit that Ruby uses to represent time zone offsets (see Time#utc_offset).

Also aliased as: create
# File activesupport/lib/active_support/values/time_zone.rb, line 199
def initialize(name, utc_offset = nil, tzinfo = nil)
  self.class.send(:require_tzinfo)

  @name = name
  @utc_offset = utc_offset
  @tzinfo = tzinfo || TimeZone.find_tzinfo(name)
  @current_period = nil
end
seconds_to_utc_offset(seconds, colon = true)

Assumes self represents an offset from UTC in seconds (as returned from Time#utc_offset) and turns this into an +HH:MM formatted string. Example:

TimeZone.seconds_to_utc_offset(-21_600) # => "-06:00"
# File activesupport/lib/active_support/values/time_zone.rb, line 183
def self.seconds_to_utc_offset(seconds, colon = true)
  format = colon ? UTC_OFFSET_WITH_COLON : UTC_OFFSET_WITHOUT_COLON
  sign = (seconds < 0 ? '-' : '+')
  hours = seconds.abs / 3600
  minutes = (seconds.abs % 3600) / 60
  format % [sign, hours, minutes]
end
us_zones()

A convenience method for returning a collection of TimeZone objects for time zones in the USA.

# File activesupport/lib/active_support/values/time_zone.rb, line 369
def us_zones
  @us_zones ||= all.find_all { |z| z.name =~ /US|Arizona|Indiana|Hawaii|Alaska/ }
end
zones_map()
# File activesupport/lib/active_support/values/time_zone.rb, line 337
def zones_map
  @zones_map ||= begin
    new_zones_names = MAPPING.keys - lazy_zones_map.keys
    new_zones       = Hash[new_zones_names.map { |place| [place, create(place)] }]

    lazy_zones_map.merge(new_zones)
  end

Instance Public methods
<=>(zone)

Compare this time zone to the parameter. The two are compared first on their offsets, and then by name.

# File activesupport/lib/active_support/values/time_zone.rb, line 225
def <=>(zone)
  result = (utc_offset <=> zone.utc_offset)
  result = (name <=> zone.name) if result == 0
  result
end
=~(re)

Compare name and TZInfo identifier to a supplied regexp, returning true if a match is found.

# File activesupport/lib/active_support/values/time_zone.rb, line 233
def =~(re)
  return true if name =~ re || MAPPING[name] =~ re
end
at(secs)

Method for creating new ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone instance in time zone of self from number of seconds since the Unix epoch. Example:

Time.zone = "Hawaii"        # => "Hawaii"
Time.utc(2000).to_f         # => 946684800.0
Time.zone.at(946684800.0)   # => Fri, 31 Dec 1999 14:00:00 HST -10:00
# File activesupport/lib/active_support/values/time_zone.rb, line 256
def at(secs)
  utc = Time.at(secs).utc rescue DateTime.civil(1970).since(secs)
  utc.in_time_zone(self)
end
formatted_offset(colon=true, alternate_utc_string = nil)

Returns the offset of this time zone as a formatted string, of the format “+HH:MM”.

# File activesupport/lib/active_support/values/time_zone.rb, line 219
def formatted_offset(colon=true, alternate_utc_string = nil)
  utc_offset == 0 && alternate_utc_string || self.class.seconds_to_utc_offset(utc_offset, colon)
end
local(*args)

Method for creating new ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone instance in time zone of self from given values. Example:

Time.zone = "Hawaii"                      # => "Hawaii"
Time.zone.local(2007, 2, 1, 15, 30, 45)   # => Thu, 01 Feb 2007 15:30:45 HST -10:00
# File activesupport/lib/active_support/values/time_zone.rb, line 246
def local(*args)
  time = Time.utc_time(*args)
  ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone.new(nil, self, time)
end
local_to_utc(time, dst=true)

Adjust the given time to the simultaneous time in UTC. Returns a Time.utc() instance.

# File activesupport/lib/active_support/values/time_zone.rb, line 302
def local_to_utc(time, dst=true)
  tzinfo.local_to_utc(time, dst)
end
now()

Returns an ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone instance representing the current time in the time zone represented by self. Example:

Time.zone = 'Hawaii'  # => "Hawaii"
Time.zone.now         # => Wed, 23 Jan 2008 20:24:27 HST -10:00
# File activesupport/lib/active_support/values/time_zone.rb, line 286
def now
  Time.now.utc.in_time_zone(self)
end
parse(str, now=now)

Method for creating new ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone instance in time zone of self from parsed string. Example:

Time.zone = "Hawaii"                      # => "Hawaii"
Time.zone.parse('1999-12-31 14:00:00')    # => Fri, 31 Dec 1999 14:00:00 HST -10:00

If upper components are missing from the string, they are supplied from #now:

Time.zone.now                 # => Fri, 31 Dec 1999 14:00:00 HST -10:00
Time.zone.parse('22:30:00')   # => Fri, 31 Dec 1999 22:30:00 HST -10:00
# File activesupport/lib/active_support/values/time_zone.rb, line 270
def parse(str, now=now)
  date_parts = Date._parse(str)
  return if date_parts.blank?
  time = Time.parse(str, now) rescue DateTime.parse(str)
  if date_parts[:offset].nil?
    ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone.new(nil, self, time)
  else
    time.in_time_zone(self)
  end
end
period_for_local(time, dst=true)

# File activesupport/lib/active_support/values/time_zone.rb, line 312
def period_for_local(time, dst=true)
  tzinfo.period_for_local(time, dst)
end
period_for_utc(time)

# File activesupport/lib/active_support/values/time_zone.rb, line 307
def period_for_utc(time)
  tzinfo.period_for_utc(time)
end
to_s()

Returns a textual representation of this time zone.

# File activesupport/lib/active_support/values/time_zone.rb, line 238
def to_s
  "(GMT#{formatted_offset}) #{name}"
end

# File activesupport/lib/active_support/values/time_zone.rb, line 291
def today

    @current_period.try(:utc_offset)
  end
end
utc_to_local(time)

Adjust the given time to the simultaneous time in the time zone represented by self. Returns a Time.utc() instance – if you want an ActiveSupport::TimeWithZone instance, use Time#in_time_zone instead.
